AUDIENCE WITH MY QUEEN AT RECESS

(tap on the shoulder)
“Hi Bobby!”
Oh, hi mom!
“What are you drawing?”
Some World War Two planes...
that’s a P-51 Mustang
“Very nice!”
And that’s a B-17...
they call it the “Flying Fortress.”
“Wow, cool name!
Those sure are funny bubble windows.”
Yeah...those are machine guns sticking out.
“Well they are masterpieces…
worthy of any refrigerator door.”
Thanks mom!
Ben taught me how to draw them.
“He’s a good friend that Ben.”
Yeah.

Can I ask you something?
“Yes, anything.”
So, why did you leave me?
I miss you so much!
(tears erupting in her eyes)
“I was very sad when I had to go.
I just couldn’t be a good mommy anymore…
the pain was too much to bear.”
Oh, I’m sorry I made you cry…
it’s okay...you’re here now.
“Yes, always.”

My friend Robin died.
“I know I am...”
Hit by a Corvette…
crossing the street…
and she was in the crosswalk.
We planted a memorial tree for her…
right next to the tetherball poles…
there near the playground.
I miss her too…
she was funny…
and pretty.
“She’s a wonderful little girl…
and still your friend.”
How do you know?
“We’ve met...I gave her a big hug.
She misses you too.”
Your not just saying that…
I mean to make me feel better, right?
“Cross my heart and hope to…
uh, it’s true...believe me”
I do!

(bell rings)
I gotta help put away the balls and get to class.
Bye mom! I really hate goodbye’s ya know?
“I know Bobby...so do I.
I’m always around if you want or need to talk.”
Thanks mommy!
I love you!
I love you too, son.
Give a hug to your sisters for me.”
Ewww, really? Okay I will.
If you see her again, say “hi” to Robin for me…
tell her I really miss her crazy laugh.
Ask her if she still plays four-square up there…
we were a great team.
“I will.”
See ya later alligator!
“After ‘while crocodile.”
